Front

What is the definition of slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope is the measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What does the x-intercept represent in a graph?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, where y = 0.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
